Burning Bitumen

Since 1988, the Netherlands-based band Sinister has been crafting death metal music. Their 15th studio album 'Deformation of the Holy Realm' was released five years ago, and it's been over a decade since the band last toured here. Ahead of their two exclusive shows in Australia, Kene catches up with vocalist Aad- just two days before Sinister's performance at The Gasometer Downstairs - to discuss his move to Slovenia and what he’s discovered there.

For the first time, undisputed kings of UK thrash metal, ONSLAUGHT, are set to hit Australia as part of their 'POWER FROM HELL' 40th anniversary world tour. Celebrating four decades of fury since the release of their seminal debut, fans can look forward to a series of shows featuring this iconic album played in full. Ahead of their Melbourne show on the 22nd of November at The Corner Hotel, Kene speaks with Nige from the band about the tour and their influence on the hardcore and metal scene.
